Plex Media Server 1.40.0.7775 is now available to Plex Pass users in the Beta update channel.

PLEASE NOTE: This version makes changes to the database which will make it compatible only with server versions 1.31.2 or higher (released March 14). You will not be able to use your database on Plex Media Server versions lower than this after this update.

In order to roll back a database to an older version than 1.31.2 you would first need to downgrade to 1.31.2 (up to 1.32.8) and then downgrade from that version afterwards.

We have bumped the server version right up to 1.40.x to signal this change.

FIXES:

  • (Agents) It is possible that agents are not initialised during startup on rare occasions (#14654)
  • (Agents) Remove the legacy OpenSubtitles agent which is no longer supported upstream (#14667)
  • (Collection) Server could become unresponsive when collection membership changes (#14612)
  • (DVR) Previously watched recordings could be deleted without being watched again (#13779)
